Bobby Akart
Author of two Amazon #1 Bestsellers for both fiction (
Evil, Meet Opportunity
—Action, Adventure category) and nonfiction (
Seeds of Liberty
—Politics, Social Sciences and Modern History categories), Bobby Akart has provided his readers a diverse range of topics that are both informative and entertaining.
Born and raised in Tennessee, Bobby received his bachelor’s degree with a dual major in Economics and Political Science. He not only understands how the economy works, but the profound effect politics has on the economy as well. After completing his undergraduate degree at Tennessee in three years, he entered the dual-degree program, obtaining a Juris Doctor combined with an MBA—Master of Business Administration at the age of twenty-three.
His education perfectly suited him for his legal career in banking, trusts and investment banking. As his legal career flourished, business opportunities arose, including the operation of restaurants and the development of commercial real estate. But after meeting and marrying the love of his life, they left the corporate world and developed online businesses.
A life-changing event led them to the Cumberland Plateau, where he and his wife lead a self-sustainable, preparedness lifestyle. Bobby and his wife are unabashed preppers and share their expert knowledge of prepping via their website

.
Bobby lives in the back woods of the Cumberland Plateau with his wife and fellow author, Danni Elle, their two English bulldogs, aka the Princesses of the Palace, a variety of farm animals, thirteen Pekin ducks and a herd of a dozen bunnies, and counting.

Foreword by Steven Konkoly
Where to start? Bobby Akart has been a tireless proponent of prepper-fiction authors, going far above and beyond the call of duty to support and promote authors. From the very first time I spoke with Bobby, I was impressed with his positive attitude and willingness to share. It’s the kind of selflessness that makes you wonder “what’s the catch?” Well, there is no catch! Bobby is just a stand-up guy—with many talents.
I was familiar with Bobby’s writing via the American Preppers Network and his website—FreedomPreppers.com. I wanted to get Bobby out of the shadows and into the limelight, so I suggested Bobby try writing fiction. His novella addition to my Perseid Collapse Kindle World reached an Amazon #1 Bestseller ranking in the Kindle Worlds Action and Adventure category. From that point forward, Bobby was hooked and a new author was born.
In addition to
The Loyal Nine
, the very successful first installment in The Boston Brahmin series, Bobby wrote a nonfiction companion guide to the series—
Seeds of Liberty
. Also an Amazon #1 Bestseller in the Politics, Social Sciences and History categories,
Seeds of Liberty
exhibits Bobby’s versatility in writing both fiction and nonfiction works.
Bobby’s attention to detail and real-world scenarios assures The Boston Brahmin series will immerse the reader in a world of political suspense and post-apocalyptic thriller fiction. The series continues with
Cyber Attack
as the plot builds to a crescendo. Hold on tight, as the ride down is frighteningly realistic.
About The Loyal Nine and the Boston Brahmin Series
And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God.
Works of fiction are frequently based upon historical fact. In the case of Book One of The Boston Brahmin Series,
The Loyal Nine
, and the entire upcoming Boston Brahmin Series, history repeats itself.
The Loyal Nine
takes its name from nine patriotic Bostonians who chose freedom over the tyrannical rule of Great Britain. As the British exerted more control over the colonists, especially in the form of taxes, anger and resentment rose to a crescendo, resulting in the War for Independence.
Author Bobby Akart has observed similar acts of rage and discontent in America today. Sadly, they perceive an America which is in decline socially and economically. There are many perspectives and theories all across the political spectrum on how to save her. Methods may differ, but does it matter if the ultimate goal is achieved?
The Boston Brahmin series will take the reader on a journey based in historical fact—both in its character development and the events that take place during the timeline of the series. This is a series about the societal and economic collapse of America. This type of collapse event is gradual and not sudden. The events portrayed in The Boston Brahmin series will rise to a crescendo, forcing the characters to make a decision—choose tyranny or freedom. They will be challenged physically and emotionally. As always, nothing is exactly what it seems.
Writing a series of this magnitude takes a considerable amount of time and research. It also asks the reader to become invested in the journey of the characters. Creating a book series about societal and economic collapse is a marathon, not a sprint. Read with us. Learn with us.

If you have not had the opportunity to read
Seeds of Liberty
, a #1 best seller in the Politics, Social Sciences category and the Modern History category.
Seeds of Liberty
is a nonfiction companion guide to The Boston Brahmin series, which provides both a sociological analysis and a complete historical perspective of America’s penchant for rebellion.
We hope you enjoy this epic, history-rich thriller series. Torn from the headlines, The Boston Brahmin series presents a nation plunged into chaos by enemies “foreign and domestic.” Only The Loyal Nine, a patriotic group of descendants of our Founding Fathers, can navigate the collapse and restore the American republic.
As the country slowly descends into economic and societal despair, America is one bad news story away from collapse. In
Cyber Attack
, Book Two of The Boston Brahmin Series, the reader is taken through a very realistic scenario that would bring America to its knees.
Enjoy and thanks for reading!
